Hi

Being an user of a car sharing scheme called Streetcar here in London I 
wondered if we should include locations on the map.

Basically, there are several operators here in London that allow you to 
rent a car per hour, with cars distributed all over town in a dense grid 
so that you can walk to one in under 10 minutes. Also see 
www.streetcar.co.uk , and http://www.zipcar.com/press/releases/press-63 .

Now how shall we tag these locations ? highway=car_share ;  
name=Streetcar ?  amenity=car_share

Any advice, do you think this belongs on the map ?

If you think this is worthly of inclusion, we could directly ask the 
operators if they would be willing to share the locations with OSM.
